Encourage students to get their piece of the financial aid pie

Monday, March 14, was Pi Day, so the Colorado Department of Higher Education is encouraging students to get their piece of the financial aid pie! The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is students’ ticket to scholarships, grants, work study and other financial aid that can put higher education dreams in reach. This year, CDHE has set a goal of reaching 52% application completion.

Here are more ways to get involved:

• Show Governor Polis’ video at rallies, FAFSA nights, and workshops and share on social media.

 Talk to students about FAFSA myths--watch the CDHE Myth Busters series with executive director, Dr. Angie Paccione.

• Download talking points, posters, student handouts, and more on the FAFSA resources page.

• Embrace the “pie” theme! As a reward for reaching your school FAFSA completion goal, have students “pie” a staff member in the face—and make sure to send CDHE the video!

• Host a FAFSA night in your community. Check out the toolkit from the U.S. Department of Education for templates, tools, sample programming, and more.
